Environmental Change and Public Health: Observations on the trajectory of an brazilian amazon agricultural frontier
The agricultural occupation of the Amazon, as well as contributing to the degradation of an important part of this biome, has brought negative consequences for the health of the local population. This problem can be better understood when we do an analysis of the environmental history of the region....

This problem can be better understood when we do an analysis of the environmental history of the region. We use this approach to develop a doctoral thesis research that studied the relationship between environmental change and public health over the occupation phases of an agricultural frontier in the Brazilian Amazon. The purpose of this technical note is to present some considerations about one of the main results of this study: the evidence that the changes in terms of public health are related to the environmental impacts generated by agricultural occupation...
